Review Showdown 59

[Nelso]

Once again midfield MIA in a big game.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

My concern is how we continually lose in the midfield to probably the third or fourth worst midfield in the comp rn

 

[chachi11]

Another showdown where our mids are pantsed by "insert spud name here"

 

[HINKLEY OUT]

All of the best Showdown's have been Showdown's that we've lost. Walsh 2015, Dawson 2022 and Cook tonight. If that doesn't make you angry, maybe you're the trolls...

 

[Powerade 08]

Butters an all time stinker. Whoever manned him at stoppages usually won the clearance. Got done around the ground.

Nobody played tight enough on Milera.

Aliir and Evans were great. Wines a mixed bag but mostly good.

Competitive losses are ok for us

OPERATION TANKING FOR COCKRING

 

[Troncs10]

Georgiadis really ****ed our shit tonight between the frees and horrendous misses.

Never looked like kicking that last one, you’d think he would have his kicking sorted after the last few weeks. Cost us tonight again

 

[longdonkey]

They won because they beat us in the midfield. Berry is another nominee for Spuds who tear up apart but he was a part of the difference.

 

[240volt]

Midfield needs to stand up for the whole game. Can't afford lapses.

Has been going on for years, team only has to break even with our mids for us to really struggle.

 

[LeoMessi]

I’m ok with the loss. We proved that we don’t give up. Plenty of improvement left but the right attitude is there

 

[philthy05]

I’m not worried at all. We’ve had a horror injury run, new coach and expected to be a bottom team versus a team that is meant to be a contender.

Huge red flags for the crows. That’s not a team within miles of the best teams in the league and they’ve finished their rebuild run.

Great signs from a bunch of our teenagers.

 

[danman69]

All part of the plan, show Butters just enough to keep him while also finishing low enough to make it easier to get Dougie. Don't listen to fireman Corn. The future is bright.

 

[SpamFowlPepper]

That one really hurt

 

[Waspy79]

All of the best Showdown's have been Showdown's that we've lost. Walsh 2015, Dawson 2022 and Cook tonight. If that doesn't make you angry, maybe you're the trolls...

Yeah that’s not true but they are winning too many that is for sure

 

[PAFC66]

Looked better than it was. They smacked us really. Shouldn't have been that close.
We lost to pretty much their second string lineup with no bench for 3 quarters.
About as bad of a performance as the west coast and north loss.

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

Once again came out after a half time break and did absolutely nothing.

We have done that for nearly 10 years.

Nothing has really changed. We caught a few good teams down that also underestimated us.

Premiership quarter was pathetic and lost is the game.

We are a team made up of Moneyball players playing the millionaire minor premiers in front of the home crowd, and they needed a lucky kick in the last seconds to win the game

I think on the whole we should be very happy with how we progressing

we had so many bad luck bounces of the ball, im wrapt in how this side is playing. unrecognisable from 6 weeks ago.

 

[Frank Hansen II]

But ****ing hell, losing to them with two players on the bench injured.

But two players off isn't what it used to be. We didn't consider it too horrific if there was one player gone from rotations in previous years.

 

[johnnysix]

We aren't going forward too much with blokes like Wehr and Marshall in those roles. We absolutely lost that game. Good on them for grabbing the win, but we handed it to them on a plate. The bombing and hacking, lack of intensity around the middle and pathetic turnovers. Were it not for some freakish play from Allir we would have lost by a lot more. We played a lot of "Bomb it to Dixon" tonight and we aren't that team. We need method and system going forward, or our mids kicking goals. Mitch is best on the lead and Whitlock is too young to shoulder the long bombs.

 

[gbear]

I've got Keays in my sights

He will shit is pants first

 

[Anyonebutken]

Didn't deserve the 4 points honestly
Crows aren't winning anything that's what keeps me relaxed tonite they play sydney or hawks tonite they get thrashed. We just need to keep plugging away and we will win our fair share of games this year from here on in.
Alot of our guys were coached by ken for too long still dumb descion making too often. Josh will get that out of them was always going to take a little time

 

[Byrons Firen]

How frustrating is Georgiades? I'm so annoyed at his inability to convert regulation 40m shots straight in front. Really lets us down over the course of the match.

He runs to the right and guess what he misses to the right.

 

[240volt]

Such a disappointing finish. To an overall disappointing performance.

Ollie and Drew blowing a 2 on 1 to concede a free, which led to the entry and goal.

Ollie then panicking again on next clearance.

Bergman with a panicked kick out of defense.

Wehr getting slaughtered on the outside constantly, and again allowing the ball outside.

I wanted Wehr dropped ages ago but they keep picking him week after week.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Port should have won that tbh. Crows had two players down and Port did not capitalised on it.

 

[PAFC66]

All part of the plan, show Butters just enough to keep him while also finishing low enough to make it easier to get Dougie. Don't listen to fireman Corn. The future is bright.

He's made up his mind.
He's gone.
We'll finish bottom 4 either way anyway

 

[Portmagpies36]

Gotta admit 6 of the last 7 with the list we have had in that time, honestly wtf

Our record in showdowns and finals tells you what sort of people we have at that club on and off the field, it’s no coincidence.
